Kevin E. Dayhoff

On June 11, Maryland State Sen. Allan Kittleman, a West Friendship Republican, officially announced his campaign for Howard County executive in 2014 at Clyde's of Columbia.


Explaining Socialism to a Right Winger
Patrick W. Allen

To a Democratic socialist, sharing the wealth means pooling tax money together to design social programs that benefit all citizens of that country, city, state, etc.

Marjorie Merriweather Post
Roy Meachum

For my knowledge of the ballet, people can blame Marjorie Merriweather Post. Her Washington Hillwood Estate is celebrating “Living Artfully” until past New Year: January 12, 2014.


Tales from the Darkside – Final Episode
Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh

As the dusk of the late winter afternoon turned to darkness, my heavy left foot let up only for the sharp curves along the road home.

Surrogates, Spies, and Third Party Espionage
Steven R. Berryman

Believe nothing that you hear, and only half of what you see. Agents claiming to act on behalf of your best interests are positioned to dominate your privacy, with the willing complicity of trusted “corporate partners.”

Vatican & Pentagon Sexual Similarities
Roy Meachum

On Wednesday the U.S. Senate approved the continuing policy: commanding officers will make the final decision whether a sex assaulter shall be court-martialed – or not! This set off a storm among feminists – even a retired admiral and serving Sen. John McClain joined in.


Taking the Right Course?
Joe Charlebois

In the near future the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be in charge of not only collecting personal income taxes, FICA taxes and corporate income taxes; it will also administer the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and it’s over 2000 pages of regulations.

Smoking Gun? Focus Pointed in Wrong Direction
Blaine R. Young

A year or two ago we had what the press gleefully called the “Arab Spring.” This year, closer to home, we have had what I call the “Spring of Scandals.” Or, at least that’s what Republicans are hoping.

Harry M. Covert

It may be too early for some to think a Virginia governor may have to resign before his term is completed. It could happen.

Garagiola, Clagett & Young
Patrick W. Allen

Skeletons, thought to be long hidden and forgotten, resurface to haunt 2013 Frederick City, Maryland’s mayoral candidates.


Migrating to Windows 8
Kevin E. Dayhoff

My latest experience with Microsoft has left me with the technological equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder. In the last six-months I have migrated light years from the Microsoft Windows XP operating system to Windows 8. It was not easy.

Clagett’s Advice to Young
Roy Meachum

The Democratic Frederick mayoral primary in September is between retiring Delegate Galen Clagett and aldermanic President Karen Young. First, I must my journalist’s hands clean. They were both close friends.


Liberals Make Excuses as Scandals Pile Up
Steve Gottlieb

The United States government is out of control. One scandal after another keeps highlighting the disdain our elected officials have for the rule of law. Our liberty is under direct assault by the current administration, and liberals make excuses instead of standing for what is right.

When will this privacy invasion end?
Steven R. Berryman

The cartoon depicts a presumably naked couple, under their sheets, in the privacy of their bedroom. A camera labeled “NSA” peeks under the sheets, to the horror of the lady.


What’s wrong with the government?
Patricia A. Kelly

If you didn’t know the answer, it’s politicians, that’s what! This week, I joined in a sharp exchange of words with my Texas cousin who leans so far to the left that I worry about his ear touching the ground.
